Review on Zilla Reptile Terrarium Bedding Substrate Reptiles & Amphibians : Terrarium Bedding, Sand & Substrate by Amy Blackmon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I use this for my rats

I used this to line a rat cage. I've never had rats, but people have said that once they went to Zilla they never looked for fleece or bedding again. I would have to agree. That's cool. I trained my rats to litter which was easy with this liner. You just pick up the poo or vacuum it up (yes I just use a handheld vacuum and BOOM all the cleaning is done). When a rat looks at it, it doesn't even leave a wet spot (I don't know how, it's amazing) and only smells for a few seconds afterwards. no longer smells. That's great. I just take it in the shower, rinse with a hose, shake and hang to dry. The smaller pieces took 6 minutes to fully (inside) dry and the larger pieces took about 20 minutes. I live in apartments and the nearest washer and dryer is $7-9 and a few blocks away so I really didn't want to use fleece (plus it looked dirty and had all these digging and chewing problems). Rats don't dig, they don't chew. That's great. i love things! I could get more so I have two sets. One goes in the wash, the other straight into the feed. MARVELOUS!
